The traditional handcraftsmanship adds elegance to table settings and makes each cup unique; small variations are completely natural.
Benefits of Copper Cups
- Copper gives water natural antimicrobial properties, which prevents bacterial growth and makes drinking more hygienic.
- It balances the temperature of the drink; cold beverages stay cool for much longer.
- It supports the immune system, regulates digestion and contributes to mineral balance.
How Should the Product Be Cared for and Used?
- Wash by hand with liquid dish soap.
- Do not put it in the dishwasher.
- Never let it come into contact with bleach.
- After washing, dry it with a soft cloth.
- Do not clean it with abrasive sponges.
- Due to the nature of copper, copper-colored products may oxidize; this is not a defect but a normal occurrence. Protecting copper from moisture can slow down darkening. If it darkens, the outside can be cleaned with metal cleaners.
- The interior of tin-lined products may take on the color of the food depending on use. Cleaning with baking soda is recommended.
- For long-lasting use, wash your copper products by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent, and keep them dry. Do not expose them to very high heat.
Do Copper Products Need to Be Re-Tinned?
- For copper products exposed to fire, re-tinning is recommended periodically (on average every 3 to 5 years).
- Copper products that are not exposed to fire will not need re-tinning.
- Water is not acidic, so it does not wear away the tin. Therefore, products such as flasks, cups and pitchers do not need re-tinning.
How Do I Know If the Tin Has Worn Off?
The tin coating on the inner surface of your copper product may wear away over time. If the silver color on the inner surface has disappeared and the reddish tone of the copper is clearly visible, or if patches have opened up or peeled, the tin may have thinned or worn away. In this case, re-tinning the product is recommended.
However, it is important to note in particular:
Blackening or dark stains on the inner surface do not mean the tin is gone. This is usually a natural color change caused by use.
Is Copper Poisonous?
No, copper is not poisonous.
Properly manufactured and properly used copper products are safe.
Copper is a mineral necessary for the human body. Tin-lined copper pots, pans and flasks used in everyday life are suitable for contact with food. In traditional production, the inner surface of copper products is tin-lined; this coating keeps copper from coming into direct contact with food.
However, the following should be kept in mind:
Acidic foods (such as those with lemon, tomato paste or vinegar) are not recommended for prolonged contact with an unlined copper surface. Therefore, quality production and regular tin maintenance are important.
In summary:
✔️ Tin-lined and properly manufactured copper products are safe.
✔️ With proper use and care, they can be used safely for many years.
❌ Unlined and unmaintained products should not be preferred.
When produced by skilled hands, copper is both a safe and a healthy choice.
